Don't distribute it then

Is this your answer to life? Don't own a car if you don't want your windows broken? Maybe we should discourage people from doing immoral acts instead of chastising victims of theft.
And to split hairs: you don't need to distribute your work to have it stolen. the various leaks and hacks over the years attests to that.

Depends where you choose to park your car. But your analogy is misguided as Information cannot be owned ) / be the subject of material property rights

Pragmatically, no. But legally that's the exact point of copyright.
We consider certain information as being capable of being stolen (identity, deeds, various military secrets), so it needs protection and punishment for trying to steal such information. Else there's no disincentive for identity theft nor hacking a private database (and there should be, in my opinion. Once again, information does not have to he distributed to be extracted).
As a hobby content creator, I absolutely disagree. My content is mine, if someone else wants to use it for whatever purposes, that party has to ask for, and get permission, to do so. Which I might or might not give.
But actually I hearby claim it as my own, and if you want to use it my license fee is one million internet bucks per use.
